Most overrated players in the league? And I’m not asking about guys who everyone agrees are overrated, because they’re not actually overrated then. Please give something actually hot. I’ll start with Mike Evans

Jayden Daniels because a rookie season simply isn’t enough to declare someone top 5-7, Jonathan Taylor had a couple of elite years and has been pretty good but not great since, TJ watt is overrated because even when he’s playing his best he almost never gets double teamed even against terrible tackles

I don’t quite agree, but I respect you for actually having hot takes for guys who are overrated. All I ever hear for guys who are “overrated” are just guys that everyone agrees aren’t that good like Rodgers (current Rodgers) and fucking Shedeur.

He’s been in 2 playoff games, and only of the losses was on him. The one in Jacksonville was a complete disaster class of coaching and playcalling. He put up 27 points in the first half, the entirety of the blame after that is to be placed on the head coach, especially in the guys first playoff game.

Taylor has been injured lmao he just had his first mostly healthy season since 2021 and had 1400+ yards and 11 touchdowns while STILL missing 3 games lmao. Would’ve been up there with Barkley and Henry if he played all 17, just going off his ypg

Nice hot takes though. You got a great point about watt he’s most definitely been a massive benefactor of cam heyward, not saying he’s bad but you gotta factor that in, and I think with that factored in Myles is the better rusher

System qb. Brock purdy wouldn’t make it a season starting for a team like the bills, bengals, commanders. You put any of those qbs on the 49ers and they’re the best team in the league by far

That’s a forced take it’s unbelieve. He was more than serviceable as the Niners QB this past season all with most of his top weapons being injured throughout the season. Not his fault that his weapons got hurt. Also at least he’s capable of taking his team to a Super Bowl soo…

I’m not saying he’s terrible. But I don’t think for a second he’s a top qb. I think he’s middle of the pack in a great system and with weapons around him. Remember that the 49ers also made jimmy g look like a starting nfl qb

1456 yards on 4.8 Yards per carry with another 431 receiving yards for 1887 total yards and 15 Touchdowns. The only RBs even debatably above him are Saquon, Henry, and Gibbs, but notice that the 3 guy above him were on Super bowl contending teams with elite offenses, while Bijan has never had a starting QB who made it through the whole season. Also, his tape is jaw dropping. Bijan deserves all of the hype, and if Penix is a good player, Bijan is going to be the best RB in the league next year.

I said he wouldn’t make it a season starting for a team like the bills who require Allen to be their entire offense, which I believe is true. As an nfl qb in his situation he’s middle of the pack, not worth whatever the hell the 49ers are paying him.

So no he’s not terrible, but he’s not worth anything close to guys like Allen and I don’t think he’d even survive as a starter in their position. Lucky for him he’s in a system that fits his (limited) skillset

That’s where I’m caught up. Like I said I think he’s good, top 10. But to say he’s gonna be the best rb in the league? I think that’s a stretch. I think he could be, he’s talented enough. But it’s gonna take a hell of a season for me to say he’s better than Barkley and about 8 more seasons like last season before id say he’s better than Henry

Also statistically (I know Bijan is better on the field) him and allgeier aren’t all that different when you look at their carries, averages, yards. Bijan is a better pass catcher and the stats show that but if allgeier got the same carries as Bijan his stats wouldn’t be that different and no one is saying allgeier is that great

He’s at minimum top 4, and idk why you think he needs multiple seasons to pass Henry? I’m not talking about all time career rankings, I’m talking about who’s better right now, and RB is a position where the #1 spot gets passed around all the time. Saquon now, CMC before that, then Chubb, then Henry, then CMC again, etc. Bijan will have his turn, he’s that guy. Also the best RB prospect ever.

You understand that efficiency goes down when carries go up right? Allgeier was at 4.7 yards per carry, while Bijan was at 4.8 on more than double the carries. Allgeier’s efficiency wouldn’t be nearly as good if he had the carries Bijan had. I’m sorry dude but looking at 3 stats and dictating that Allgeier is basically just as good as Bijan is a horrendous take.

I swear 90% of NFL fans either have the memory of a goldfish or literally don’t watch any of the games aside from looking at the box score and the final score. That was truly the most “not his fault” game I’ve ever laid my eyes on and it was a crime that Brandon Staley had a job after that loss.

Allgeier had more carries his rookie year and was still almost identical so I think he’s a more than capable back. I’m not saying allgeier is as good, I’m saying the stats are similar, I literally said I know Bijan is better. You listed stats as reasoning for why he’s good. I just pointed out that allgeiers stats are that far away and no one considers him elite

4.9 per carry, over 1000 yards, not really a dip in efficiency. I think allgeier could’ve been a regular 1000 yd back if he got the carries

James Cook I hard disagree. Idk where the argument even is that he’s on par with Bijan. My list goes 1. Saquon 2. Henry 3. Bijan 4. Gibbs 5. JT 6. Jacobs 7. Jeanty tbh 8. Bucky Irving 9. Cook 10. Achane I’m excluding CMC becuase I think he’s impossible to rank atp. He could be #1, or off the list entirely depending on how much you factor health.

I understand your thinking but I disagree. Jeanty above cook when he’s never played an nfl snap? Thats insane imo. Based on how good they are rn, but Jeanty has done nothing yet he’s above all the other starters and even some studs?

I think Jeanty is gonna be an absolute stud btw. 1500 if he doesn’t get hurt. I rank guys based on thinking like hey it’s a playoff game, win or go home, who would I rather have that’s going to have a great game and get yards when we need it.

Also as I’m looking at it I understand Bijan at 3, I think the top is pretty close, I still hesitate to put him above Gibbs but I understand it

Gibbs is just in so much more of an ideal offensive environment that sets him up to be such an efficient back. I’d say Bijan is substantially more well rounded as a 3 down back with better power, elusiveness, vision, etc. Gibbs really only has speed on Bijan, which matters obviously, but I think it’s clear from watching the Lions that Detroit does a very good job of setting Gibbs up with very high value and well schemed touches to let him show off his speed. In a vacuum, I’m taking Bijan.
